Because God is holy, and because God has made us holy, we reside in the world, but we are distinct from the world. The same redeeming and reconciling work that makes union to Him and oneness with each other possible makes us distinct from the world. The divisions that already existed are further emphasized by His defining work.

Because the Gospel is true, while the world quarrels over positions of privilege, Christ’s people can revel in the certainty of God’s blessings

By the truth of the Gospel, we have been transformed, we are in the world but not of the world, instead, we are holy unto God. The question is, what should be done when holy people quit living holy lives?

Because of the Gospel, union with God in Christ and oneness with His people are ours to enjoy and apply for our good and His glory. There is no unity under heaven to be had apart from the Gospel. But, there is no divide under heaven so great it cannot be reconciled by the Gospel.

Because of who Jesus is, we, who were chosen for Him and have placed our faith in Him, are a new people in this world but no longer of this world

All people and things in creation are to praise the God of the Bible because He made the world and He is going to return to judge the world.

There are only two ways for every person. There is a path that follows God and His Word, and a path that follows the world.

Pastor Rodney Rambo from Rooted Church in Joplin Mo reminds us of the promise that God is with us right now by His indwelling Spirit

We believe men and women are created equal in every way, with distinctive characteristics designed to complement one another. This equal yet complementary design of men and women defines distinct roles within the Lord's church
